COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho (AP) - A northern Idaho man accused of shooting and killing another man after a road-rage incident has pleaded guilty.

The Coeur d’Alene Press reports (https://bit.ly/2kwePwj ) that David Hutto on Wednesday changed his plea, admitting to first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping and robbery. A fourth criminal charge of arson was dropped as part of a plea agreement.

Hutto is accused of killing 41-year-old William “Bo” Kirk, who disappeared Oct. 22 after he left his job as an X-ray technician at Northwest Specialty Hospital in Post Falls. The husband and father of three never made it home that evening.
